There’s nothing inconsiderate about my responses, nor anything presumptuous about how my particular experiences with using transit translates to other people’s abilities or capacity.

There are however a lot of claims made by other people here that would incur extraordinary costs with potentially far less benefit than many other solutions, soaking up funding that could otherwise go to other very deserving needs like child care, healthcare, senior centers, schools, lunches etc.

Just because people really like trains doesn’t mean their proposals for trains are superior to other options.
